Concluding Thoughts

This chapter has focused on the installation and configuration of psad on a Linux system running iptables.

For reference, you will find complete examples of the default psad configuration files online at http://www.cipherdyne.org/linuxfirewalls. There is also a substantial amount of additional psad documentation available online at http://www.cipherdyne.org.
